Drywall in the Studio!





Here are some new pics of the studio!

Dry Wall is up!






Today we visited the house, and all the drywall has been installed with the exception of the basement. We thought the addition of the drywall would make the rooms seem smaller, but the opposite was the truth. What big rooms we have! We were very pleased with how the house is beginning to really take shape. We picked out our paint colors today! Take a look and enjoy! We will place a few different entries so we can share photos in detail.

Until next time!

Knock! Knock!






Who's there? Landshark! NO, it's a new front door! Our front door and sidelights were installed, and we just had to make sure it worked. It is a little bit of a Mission-style with pretty glasswork. We've been thinking about painting it a barn red.

The insulation is next an then the drywall!

Electricity, Tubs, & Showers!






The electrical work is near completion, with an obnoxiously double electrical panel & box, enough juice to light up the house and a few out buildings. We also thought at the last moment about placing outlets in the living room floor, just in case we want to put a lamp in the middle of the room. (thank you to Mom Hurst for that wise suggestion!) In addition, the bathroom tubs and showers arrived. The original tub for the master bath was the wrong shape, so it had to be returned. We will have a separate soaking tub and walk-in shower in the master bath, and an "all in one" version for the upstairs bath. To end things for now, we also received our flag pole for the front yard. Quite a long package!
